I did 28+ mpg on the 150 mile trip home with the 2012 SXT, as indicated by the computer traveling 72-73mph. Used cruise control but no drafting or anything special.  Seems like pretty good mileage using E10 for a vehicle rated 25mpg highway.
 
 

have you tired to list it on Amazon.ca?

The Trailer Tow Group for the DJ is the most Mickey Mouse outfit that I have ever seen.  Mine came with the harness that runs to the back of the car and also came with the oil cooler.  I found the small harness with all the relays on eBay.  BINGO.  I now have the Trailer Tow Group.  It was not listed on my window sticker.  I had my Dealer install the Mopar Hitch, added the Sales Code and energized the harness.  I can tow!

My 2014 DJ has the muti-color graph.  I just drove a 2016 Jeep Cherokee and it's graph was gray.

Any extended warranty you can get is worth the money.  There are too many costly electronic systems on any car these days, and when they fail, the cost can be great to fix/replace.  There are many levels of extended warranties to choose from.  If you are planning on keeping the vehicle for a long time, get the most expensive one that you can afford.  That is what I do.  I purchased a 2006 Jeep Commander new with Quadra-Drive II (3 electronically controlled limited slip differentials which could send 100% of the torque to 1 wheel!).  After the basic warranty ran out, it developed a strange noise in the front.  Long story short:  I got a completely new total drive train for $100.  So, yes, they are worth every penny when the time comes to use it.

Works for me!
Win 10 and edge.

THAT's interesting.  Canadian units supposedly don't get traffic, according to Sirius, no matter what the manual may say about five years' traffic service included, because Sirius doesn't offer traffic in Canada except on a test basis with Ford and Mercedes.  Having said that the traffic coverage is much more complete than Garmin's FM service, I must say.

One update is for the radio firmware and the other is for the navigator firmware - both are incorporated in the TGM (a fancy term for 'radio module').  And yes, according to FCA policy you have to get a new radio, not that the old one can't be recovered nor the new one any different than the old - in fact it won't be 'new' either, it will be 'remanufactured'.

Beyond this, Garmin is wrong (then again their telephone agents are usually wrong even about products that they manufacture, let alone ones manufactured by Panasonic). 

Your dealer is an idiot and the OEM bumper to bumper extended warranties absolutely DO cover the electronics.

R65 was ONLY about the GPS, which is why it only applies to vehicles equipped with the GPS package.  Of course it doesn't solve the problem, since we've had reports here of units that were 'recalled' (all they do is update the two firmware packages for the radio and navigator to the current 15.09.D1 and CTP16 respectively) including your own getting the 'can't unlock maps' message again.

If FCA is prone to reimbursing people after their warranties expire then I suspect that the owner information web site won't be where you go to ask for it.

I do wish you luck, however.

I found this out when it updated the radio not the GPS.  I have to get a new radio, went yesterday to show them the error message.  I called Garmin today to see if they have a fix and although they admitted hearing about this issue there is no fix other than replace.  I found the extended warranty and of course after being told by the sales manager about the cost of the radio and the need for an extended warranty, I read nowhere are electronics covered.  15K before 1st failure and another 9 K for the second.  R65 was for the radio apparently and not the fix to the GPS.  I have a site that I can apply for a reimbursement for issues like this and if I find out that they will not replace the radio at some point, I will have to use this site.  I tried to copy the site here but it would not work.  moparownerconnect.com is the URL.  Thanks again

Don't waste your time.  Those are firmware files you downloaded, not maps.  Your maps are corrupted.

Just as an update, I downloaded 2 Uconnect Updates that were available for my DJ after I input my VIN.  I have them on a memory stick and will upload the updates to my radio/Nav system this weekend.  I will eventually be getting a new unit after I bring it to the service people on Monday.

I don't know who you are but thank you very much for your response.  I will now look at the recall you refer to.  Thanks again my friend.

Depending on WHICH extended warranty package you bought ('bumper to bumper' or simply power train) and who is underwriting it ( I hope is was an OEM package from Dodge/FCA direct) you may not have full coverage.

On the other hand, it doesn't cost $3,400 to fix the GPS and it doesn't need to be replaced, that is simply Chrysler policy.

The problem would seem to be that there are certain radios that are susceptible to memory corruption.  When they swap out your radio they will install a 'refurbished' one.  It is most likely to be one of those with the issue, since that's how they get them to refurbish in the first place and all they do is reload the unit with software and maps and ship them back out, never addressing the underlying issue..

Beyond this, there is a recall (R65, for reference) that applies to your vehicle, whether you have an extended warranty or not - it would seem to have been applied in June . . . but clearly was not 'successful'.  All repairs, whether recall or not are guaranteed in any case.

Your dealer's an idiot.

you can spend hours reading about this issue on this forum-you are just one of many who have this issue its was the most read topic on the old forum.
Im on my 4th unit seems to be a real weak spot in these vehicles good luck

I have a 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad with the 8.4" Garmin Navigation system. I've had it about 1 year.  In May, 2016 I noticed the following message on my display when I hit the Nav button.  "Can't unlock Maps" , I hit the OK button and then received the following message "Detailed maps are required for routing.  No detailed maps were found on this unit".  I called my dealer and made an appointment, They looked at it for a second and said, the radio had to be replaced.  3 weeks later I got a new radio in time for my cross country trip in July.  It worked perfectly until last weekend when the same messages appeared.  I called and told the dealer the messages had reappeared and offered to send them pictures.  They asked how many miles were on the car, I told them it made no difference as I purchased the extended warranty when the dealer manager told me when I was completing the purchase that to replace the navigation system would cost $3,400.  I then purchased the extended warranty. The dealer rep told me that the extended warranty did not cover the radio/navigation system.  It told her what I was told by the dealer's manager.  They then told me to come in and that they had to visually see the radio before they could replace the radio.  I will be bringing it in on August 22, 2016.  I fully expect to have this happen again, 2 times in 3 months?  That points to a problem with their system but curiously enough repeated searches through Google did not reveal a known problem, only an occasional issue.  Can anyone share a similar concern past the first replacement of their radio?  Thanks.

Well I took mine in for service last week, had its first service done and had them check the GPS...
Of course they just took it for a drive around the block and it worked fine... Well yeah, it has 6000 km on it and only had the issue once... Do they think driving around the block will cause the issue to replicate?
Ugh...
Apparently there's no update / upgrade at this time...?
I also noticed that sometimes the traffic information doesn't work, and I haven't left the Toronto area since I got the vehicle... It worked fine for the first while, then stopped working, then it had that big reset hissy fit, now it works again.

Mine is showing "cant unlock maps" and the loss of everything happened a few weeks before this message showed up
Taking mine in on Monday for a so called "fix"

i have an 2014 dodge journey sxt blacktop edition. about a couple days ago mine did the same thing. i was wondering what happened my self.

Okay, thanks, I will ask... when I head in for my first oil change service!

Avistow,
I haven't experienced this issue myself, nor have the other Journey owners here in the office.
I can confirm however that there have been a number of flash enhancements released for similar conditions.
May be best to check with your Dodge dealer on your next service visit to see if any of these enhancements are outstanding.

I've got the full sized touch screen with GPS in my 2013 Journey SXT... A couple weekends ago I went to my friend's place, as usual it knew where I was going and provided me with an estimated time of arrival... During the weekend I went to go for a drive, I noticed that my location icon changed back to the default blue pointer, when I went into my favorites they were all gone!?! I never had an interruption in power... Has anyone else experienced this issue?

it snaps onto the seat rail at the front end on the right side it would be on the outside or right side and the drivers on the outside or left side rail. it to protect you from getting scratched or getting your pants leg or dress from getting snagged on the end of the seat bracket that connects to the floor bracket...be careful putting it back on they break easy

Found this on the floor mat today any ideas where this goes?  Front passenger or driver, kids were playing with it.  Thanks!
 

I can't imagine it would be worthwhile to do considering you might brick some module somewhere and void your warranty.

Thanks for the reply.
 
Is it possible to "fake out the system"? I probably should have asked if it was possible to do without frying something.
